Now is the time when boy3 of an

almost Impossible to secure.

It Is Interesting that the Chinese,
instead of iaising statues to their
heroes of the recent Japanese attack
on Woosung, are to build a model
village as a memorial, and to supply
home3 to the thousands made home
less during the operations. Thi3 may
not be art, neither is it a glorifica

please the Chinese people more than
all the monuments in the world.

Davy Ilutton confidently declares
that Myrtle St. Pierre is not going

her from him for breach of promise.
Davy has several reasons for oppos

quite sufficient. He has no money.
This ought to give other great lovers
an idea. If a fellow is going to break
any love promises, he should first
look out for safety first by having
no money.

A WAVE OF PROTEST
Business men. manufacturers,
property owners of every class and
kind are Joining in the wave cf pro
test against increasing Governmen
tal expenditures and mounting taxes.
Marshall Field & Company, tbe
largest department store in the
world, we believe, have issued a cir
cular to their wholesale customers
in which they point that while, last
year. Federal. State and local taxes
took almost 22 cents out of every
dollar of private income, the pro
portion will be higher this year be
cause cf the greatly reduced income.
Expenses have not been reduced;
they have teen increased. Accord
ing to the Field tabulation, since
1927 our Federal costs have increas
ed 63 percent, from $1,904,000,000
to $3,195,100,000 a year. And as
thi3 is written Congress is still in
session and is trying to spend an
other couple of billion of tax money
though whera it is to come from no
body knows.
This i3 all wrong. It is time to
call a halt. We see only one way to
do that, and that is to make economy
the watchword of the coming cam
paign. No man should be support
ed for election to any office in -which
he will have anything to say about
taxation or tho spending of tax
money who will not pledge himself
to reduce expenses and taxes, even
if by doing so he loses a few votes
when he comes up for re-election.
We think that nine-tenths of Gov
ernmental extravagance is due to
the desire of legislators to placate
groups and individuals whose votes
they desire. It i3 nothing short of
robbery. n our opinion, for a man
in public office to impose taxes up
on one class oi ir.e puonc in oruer
to spend the money for the benefit
of another class, whose votes, he
hopes .will perpetuate him in power.
It is time to stop.
'HOWLING MOB"'
DOES VERY WELL
The cynic likes nothing better
than to poke fun at a national po
litical convention. He calls it a cir-
icus or a mad moo without direction
It is a sure sign, he says, of the
breakdown of our theory of democ
racy. He thinks it hopeless ever to
get a sane decision out of a howling
crowd like that. And at first thought
as one looks down from the balcony.
or listens over the radio, he may be
disposed to agree with the cynic. But
order does finally come out of chaos.
A convention is in part a holiday,
and why not? Most of us need a
holiday. There is a contagious and
pent-up enthusiasm in the crowd
This must spend itself before the
delegates settle down to serious busi
ness. It is the fact that they do
finally settle down to serious busi
ness that makes a democracy. Re
sponsibility placed on men makes
them seriou.
The parliament is largely a new
device in government and even yet
it is accepted by only a small part
of the world. During most of his
tory those in authority would not
trust the judgment of the crowd.
iXiuis, the smug old French king,
?aid: "I am the state." He laughed
at the crowd that battered down the
gates of Versailles crying for bread.
The dictator of Italv makes decisions
for the Italians and laughs at what
he calls the corpse of uemoeracy.
To review national conventions in
American history strengthens one's
faith in what the cynic calls the na
tional circus. In most cases the se
lections have been wise, for on the
whole, our presidents have been
great Americans. Here is a partial
list; they stand among the great
statesmen of the world: Washing
ton. Jefferson. Jackson, Lincoln.
Roosevelt, Wilson. There selections
were made by the so-called howling
mobs, but after all, they did pretty
well.
The national political convention
is our best cross-section ot American
life. The delegates come from north,
south, east, west; they represent all
classes, but they are all Americans
meeting together to perfejn a sol
emn and important duty, and as a
lule they do it well. This is the
way of a democracy. It may be hail
ing and faulty and crazy at times,
but it Is the best form of govern
ment thus far devised. Dayton

CHEER IN BETTER PRICES
For a month or more the trend
of commodity prices has been up
ward. It has been a steady move
ment. While not uniform, it has
been especially marked in some com
modity groups. - It is the kind of de
velopment that has been long await
ed. Repeated reports of falling
prices were warnings that one im
portant part of a stable foundation
for business recovery was lacking.
It cannot be assumed even now
that a turn assuring permanent bet
terment has come. Temporary reces
sions, at least, are to be expected
But if the disheartening long con
tinued fall of prices is now being
checked, it is most significant for
future progress.
While grain prices have contin
ued to lag, the recovery in livestock
has been pronounced, and has been
a big factor in helping to boost the
entire price level. , Provisions and
meat3 have followed livestock, while
there has been a stiffening in tex
tiles, industrials, fuels, paint ma
terials and a few other groups. Steel
and other building materials, leath
er, and a few others, either have
receded slightly or failed to gain at
the time the general level was being
raised.
Particular items, heavily depress
ed for a protracted period, now are
showing strength. Butter and eggs
afford a conspicuous example, fu
tures in these commodities having
risen sharply, with indications ot
more consumption. Sugar prices also
have recovered to a fair degree. Fu
tures up to yesterday had scored
gains of 32 to 42 points in a
month.
Along with those hopeful signs,
there are evidences of more confi
dence in security prices, both bonds
and stocks having made a better
showing the greater part of the week
than for some time past. Uncertainty
as to farm commodities relates chiefly
to wheat and cotton. There was a
fair recovery in the latter from the
extreme low figures of early June,
but marked improvement still is
awaited. A definite turn toward bet
ter prices for these two leading farm
products would give pronounced im
petus to an upward movement that
now seems to be started.
:o:
It has been found that United
States one-dollar bills wear out at
the rate of about 50,000,000 a month,
showing that they do not last much
longer than they seem to.
WHITHER NATIONALISM?
A large portion of the world Is
engaged in damming the headwaters
of the streams of commerce and at
the same time cherishing the naive
hope that the streams will continue
to flow. But the higher the dam is
raised, the less water is finding it
way into the valleys where trade no
longer blooms with refreshing vigor.
The situation in Germany pre
sents an illuminating example of the
part which increasing restriction
IS
playing in international economy
Germany, in protecting its currency
by exchange restrictions, has buil
a dam against products ot other na
tiens. She has supplemented this
structure with super-tariffs and spec
ial economic regulations. But in the
middle of her task she has turned to
discover that the stream of exports
is drying up. In May, German ex
rorts at 447.000,000 marts were the
lowest in many years a figure only
about one-half of her exports a year
ago.
It is true that this is not brought
about exclusively by conditions of
Germany's own devising. England
departure from the gold standard
ana from free rade cut a serious
hole in German exports. Financia
difficulties in neighboring countries
have aggravated the situation and
Germany has full license to declare
that her present exchange restric
tions were inaugurated in self-de
fense.
But at the same time this has
been accompanied by a definite pol
icy of economic self-sufficiency, es
pc ialiy in the effort to develop an
independent food supply. High tar
iffs have been combined with exten
sive subsidies. A uuy ucrman
campaign, which importunes the
housewife to keep her "fruit and
vegetable" money within the Reich
has even made its appearance. But
as Dr. Hans Luther, president ot
the Reichsbank, recently warned" the
nation, while this autarchial tend
piicv might prove advantageous to
agriculture, it would be dangerous
if allowed to spread to other fields
This danger expresses itself not
only in immediate policies, but in
a type of nationalistic thought
which is being fostered with not in
considerable success by the parties
of the Right in Germany. The Na
tionalists, who control the present
mild oligarchy in Germany, repeat
edly talk of economic "independ
ence." Adolf Hitler's National So
cialists, grown to the largest indi
vidual party in the Reich amid the
cry of "Germany for the Germans,'
intone vigorously against interna
tionalism.
Yet the mo?t exereme nationalists
do rot believe that it is possible to
create prosperity within the state of
Brunswick while the rert of Germany
is in want and in need. They admit
that the only way that agrarian dif
Acuities of East Prussia can be solved
is with the aid of a strong and pros
perous Reich.
What, then, must they say of the
world of which Germany 13 as much
a related unit as Brunswick is
part of Germany? One may under
stand the pressure of immediate dif
ficulties which require temporary na
tionalistic measures. Yet at the
same time a grave responsibilty
faces the leaders of thought and pol
icy. It is to refrain from using diffi
cult material conditions as tne ex
cuse for an inflamed nationalism. It
is to recognize that the streams of
national happiness and national
prosperity are not augmented by the
building of dams.
